Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Onions and Garlic

    To the browned beef, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  3. 3

    Mix in Tomato Sauce and Beans

    Stir in the tomato sauce and drained kidney beans, mixing well to combine.

  4. 4

    Season the Chili

    Add chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and water to the pot. Stir to combine all ingredients.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Chili

    Bring the chili to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Hot Dog Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Hot Dogs

    While the chili simmers, grill or boil the hot dog sausages according to package instructions until heated through.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Buns

    Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill or in the oven for added texture.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Chili Dogs

    Place a hot dog sausage in each bun. Generously top with the prepared chili.

  2. 9

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili, followed by chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, and jalapeño slices to taste.
